a gun with a muzzle velocity of 100 m/s is fired horizontally from a tower. neglecting air resistance, how far will the bullet fall 1 second later (vertical distance) ? * 1 point a) 5 m b) 50 m c) 100 m d) 490 m e) none of these



Answer :

option c A gun is fired horizontally from a tower with a muzzle velocity of 100 m/s. The bullet will arrive 100m away and arrive 1 second late if air resistance is ignored.

That is not to argue that there isn't a velocity increase. It absolutely depends on the specific firearm, cartridge, and loading in question. The reason for an increase in velocity is that the pressures are slightly higher, which causes the bullet to move less before engaging the rifling.

However, a significant improvement in accuracy is what many handloads will discover. A smaller distance to the rifling reduces the possibility of any bullet tipping and the variation in breech pressures that exists between different rounds. From round to round, slightly variable pressures can and will be produced even with equal powder loads, down to less than 1/10th of a grain. It's a simple reality.
